Notes on using your camera

Shooting procedure

• This camera has two modes for shooting:

the LCD monitor mode using the LCD

monitor, and the viewfinder mode using

the viewfinder.

• The recorded image may be different

from the image you monitored before

recording.

Notes on the functions available with

the camera

• To check whether it is a 1080 60i-

compatible device or 1080 50i-

compatible device, check for the

following marks on the bottom of the

camera.

1080 60i-compatible device:60i

1080 50i-compatible device:50i

• You may feel uncomfortable symptoms

such as eyestrain, nausea, or a tired

feeling while watching 3D-images

recorded with the camera on 3D-

compatible monitors. When you watch

3D-images, we recommend that you take

a break at regular time intervals. Since

the need for or frequency of break times

varies between individuals, please set

your own standards. If you feel sick, stop

watching 3D-images, and consult a

doctor as needed. Also, refer to the

operating instructions of the connected

device or the software used with the

camera. A child’s vision is always

vulnerable (especially for children under

six years of age). Before allowing them

to watch 3D-images, please consult with

an expert, such as a pediatric or

ophthalmic doctor. Be sure to make sure

your children follow the precautions

above.

No compensation for contents of the

recording

The contents of the recording cannot be

compensated for if recording or playback is

not possible due to a malfunction of your

camera or a memory card, etc.

Back up recommendation

To avoid the potential risk of data loss,

always copy (back up) data to other

medium.

Notes on the LCD monitor, electronic

viewfinder, lens, and image sensor

• The LCD monitor and electronic

viewfinder are manufactured using

extremely high-precision technology so

over 99.99% of the pixels are operational

for effective use. However, there may be

some tiny black points and/or bright

points (white, red, blue or green in color)

that constantly appear on the LCD

monitor and electronic viewfinder. These

points are normal in the manufacturing

process and do not affect the images in

any way.

• When you change your focus on the

viewfinder, red, green, or blue flickers

may appear on the screen. This is not a

malfunction. These flickers are not

recorded on the image.

• Do not hold the camera by taking hold of

the LCD monitor.

• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or

shoot sunward for a long time. The

internal mechanism may be damaged. If

sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it

may cause a fire.

• There is a magnet on the back and around

the rotating shaft of the hinge part of the

LCD monitor. Do not bring anything that

is easily affected by a magnet, such as

floppy disk, credit cards near the LCD

monitor.

• Images may trail across on the screen in a

cold location. This is not a malfunction.

When turning on the camera in a cold

location, the screen may become

temporarily dark. When the camera

warms up, the screen will function

normally.

8

Notes on long-time recording

• When you continue to shoot for a long

time, the temperature of the camera rises.

If the temperature reaches above a certain

level, the mark is indicated on the

screen and the camera is turned off

automatically. If the power is turned off,

leave the camera for 10 minutes or longer

to allow the temperature inside the

camera to decrease to a safe level.

• Under high ambient temperatures, the

temperature of the camera rises quickly.

• When the temperature of the camera

rises, the image quality may deteriorate.

It is recommended that you wait until the

temperature of the camera drops before

continuing to shoot.

• The surface of the camera may get hot.

This is not a malfunction.

Notes when playing movies on other

devices

• This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

High Profile for AVCHD format

recording. Movies recorded in AVCHD

format with this camera cannot be played

with the following devices.

– Other devices compatible with

AVCHD format that does not support

High Profile

– Devices incompatible with the

AVCHD format

This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/

H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format

recording. For this reason, movies

recorded in MP4 format with this camera

cannot be played on devices other than

those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.

• Discs recorded with HD image quality

(high definition) can be played back only

on AVCHD format-compatible devices.

DVD-based players or recorders cannot

play back HD image quality discs, as

they are incompatible with the AVCHD

format. Also, DVD-based players or

recorders may fail to eject HD image

quality discs.

On GPS-compatible devices (SLT-

A55V only)

• To determine whether your camera

supports GPS function, check the model

name of your camera.

GPS-compatible: SLT-A55V

GPS-incompatible: SLT-A55/A33

• Use GPS in accordance with regulations

of countries and regions where you use it.

• If you do not record the location

information, set [GPS On/Off] to [Off]

(page 138).

• In an airplane, make sure to turn off the

camera following cabin announcements.

in-power type, the power of the

microphone is supplied by the

camera.

F Tripod receptacle

• Use a tripod with a screw length

of less than 5.5 mm (7/32 inch).

You will be unable to firmly

Charging the battery pack

When using the camera for the first time, be sure to charge the NP-FW50

“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (supplied).

The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack can be charged even when it has not

been fully depleted.

It can also be used when it has not been fully charged.

1 Insert the battery pack onto the

battery charger.

Push the battery pack until it clicks.

2 Connect the battery charger to the

wall outlet (wall socket).

Light on: Charging

Light off: Charge completed

• The CHARGE lamp turns off when

charging is finished.

• Time required to charge a fully

depleted battery pack at a temperature

of 25°C (77°F) is about 250 minutes.

Preparing the camera

Notes

• The charging time differs depending on the remaining capacity of the battery back or

charging conditions.

• We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10

to 30°C (50 to 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack

outside of this temperature range.

• Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket).

• Do not try to charge the battery pack again right after it has been charged, or when it

has not been used after being charged. Doing so will affect the performance of the

battery pack.

• Do not charge any battery pack other than the “InfoLITHIUM” W series battery

pack in the battery charger (supplied) with your camera. Batteries other than the

specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a

risk of injury from electrocution and burns.

• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, this may indicate a battery error or that a battery

pack other than the specified type has been installed. Check that the battery pack is

the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack,

replace it with new one or another one and check if the battery charger operates

correctly. If the battery charger operates correctly, a battery error may have

occurred.

• If the battery charger is dirty, charging may not be performed successfully. Clean the

battery charger with dry cloth, etc.

To use your camera abroad — Power sources

You can use your camera and the battery charger and the AC-PW20 AC

Adaptor (sold separately) in any country or region where the power supply

is within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Note

• Do not use an electronic transformer (travel converter), as this may cause a

malfunction.

Inserting the battery pack/memory card

(sold separately)

1 While sliding the cover open

lever, open the cover.

2 Firmly insert the battery pack all

the way while pressing the lock
